Ten Days End

Qi Xia sat in the lobby on the first floor, feeling somewhat helpless.

Although he arranged a strategy for the three people to seize the initiative at the beginning, the future development was changing rapidly. He didn't know what the madman on the opposite side would do, let alone what kind of situation their "echo" would lead the game to.

Qi Xia was closing his eyes, but heard rustling footsteps outside the door.

He turned his head and saw Chu Tianqiu standing outside the door, looking at him with a smile.

Although Qi Xia was a little confused, he didn't say anything and closed his eyes again.

Chu Tianqiu walked into the room, dragged a broken wooden box from the side, and sat in front of Qi Xia.

Qi Xia didn't open his eyes, but frowned. He didn't like someone suddenly getting so close.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Qi Xia, what does "teammate" mean to you?" Chu Tianqiu asked.

Hearing this question, Qi Xia slowly opened his eyes.

"Teammate...?" "Qi Xia thought for a while, "They are my life and death partners."

"Really?" Chu Tianqiu said with a smile, "Yun Yao said that you get a headache every time you lose a teammate, so are you "heartbroken"? "

"What do you want to say?" Qi Xia asked.

"I suspect we are the same people." Chu Tianqiu gently patted the dust on his clothes and said, "When we don't have a clear goal, teammates are everything to us, but when we have a clear goal, teammates become pawns."

Hearing this, Qi Xia slowly smiled.

"Chu Tianqiu, you made me look for you..."

"Haha!" Chu Tianqiu smiled, "Did it cause you trouble? I'm really sorry."

Qi Xia slowly stretched out a finger, pointed to the ceiling and said, "There are three "extremes" here, do you think they want your head?"

"Don't be like that." Chu Tianqiu waved his hand as if joking with a friend, "I really shouldn't show up, but I really want to see you. We finally have a chance to talk, you won't ask someone to interrupt us, right? "

"Then you talk, I'll listen." Qi Xia replied.

"You and I are both emotionless cold-blooded animals. Everyone in the Land of the End is not worth dying for us, right?" Chu Tianqiu asked.

Qi Xia did not answer, but slowly held up his chin.

"You knew that the game of "Dragon" was my trap, but you still participated in it, and even sacrificed a teammate to get out." Chu Tianqiu nodded with great satisfaction, "What a good opponent."

"You're flattering." Qi Xia said.

"You lied a lot to get out of here alive." Chu Tianqiu continued, "You even teamed up with that lunatic Ringo, you wanted to kill her... Your viciousness is far superior to mine."

"So what?" Qi Xia asked expressionlessly.

"So... I want to set myself on fire and cooperate with you. "Chu Tianqiu said, "In the entire "Land of the End", if you want to get out, only you and I can do it together. You have to know that I am crazier than Ringo."

Qi Xia certainly knew how crazy Chu Tianqiu was.

Human lives are really chess pieces to him, and they can be abandoned at any time.

"I want to see that notebook." Qi Xia said.

Chu Tianqiu smiled slightly after hearing this, reached into his pocket, took out an old notebook and threw it to Qi Xia casually.

"Qi Xia, you have to be careful, this is the core secret of "Heaven's Mouth", only a few members have seen it, remember not to damage it."

Qi Xia took the notebook in silence, opened it and read it.

This is a diary recorded in the first person.

At the beginning of the diary, it is written that "I" found that the items in the Land of the End will not be reset, so as long as I write down the notes and put them on a road that "I" must pass, then "I" will never lose my memory.

Turning to the back, the content is basically the mental journey of "I" and "Zodiac" gambling their lives. Although it does not specify what game they participated in, after flipping through it, I found that "Zodiac" was killed by "I" every day.

At the end of the diary, "I" gambled to death all the "Zodiac" in the "Land of the End". A goddess in gorgeous clothes fell from the sky. She said that "I" was the strongest existence in the entire "Land of the End" and could enter and exit this place freely.

So, "I" went out.

Qi Xia finished reading this notebook with a heavy face, feeling that he had been tricked.

"Chu Tianqiu, did you write this notebook yourself?" he asked.

"Of course." Chu Tianqiu nodded seriously, "Qi Xia, you don't really think that there will be such a powerful predecessor who gambled to death all the "Zodiac" alone through the accumulation of time, right? This is just to guide the people at the "Heaven's Gate" to be willing to do it.A little trick to die for, hahahahaha."

Qi Xia sighed deeply. He had expected that this notebook might be fake, but he didn't expect it to be so fake.

Chu Tianqiu reached out to take back the notebook and carefully put it in his pocket, fearing that it would be damaged: "Now that the core secrets of "Heaven's Mouth" have been told to you, do you still not believe me?"

"It's really interesting. You took out a "scam" to exchange my sincerity." Qi Xia laughed and said, "Do you want to change to another "scam"? "

"Oh? No?" Chu Tianqiu showed a regretful expression, "Even if this is a "scam", it is my secret."

"Since gambling all the "zodiac" to death is not feasible, and you keep letting people from "Heaven's Mouth" go one after another, what is your purpose?" Qi Xia asked.

"I need a corpse. "Chu Tianqiu answered without hesitation.

This answer once again exceeded Qi Xia's expectations.

"You...are you creating a "corpse"? "

"How should I put it...Qi Xia." Chu Tianqiu touched his chin and thought for a while, "If I tell you this, I will have no secrets at all."

"Then do you want to tell me?" Qi Xia asked.

"Hehe..." Chu Tianqiu showed a crazy smile, "Of course, otherwise why would I risk my life to come here?"

"Then you talk, I listen." Qi Xia nodded.

"Qi Xia..." Chu Tianqiu muttered to himself, "When the "end of the day" comes, all the living people will turn into blood-red powder and drift away with the wind."

"Oh? Really?" Qi Xia raised his eyebrows, not looking surprised.

"Above this blue sky, there are people who have lived to the tenth day, and now even the sky has been dyed dark red by the flesh. "Chu Tianqiu looked at the sky outside the door as if he was appreciating a beautiful view, and then said, "Although I don't know where my previous body floated, it is emitting a foul stench."

"That's really worthy of sympathy." Qi Xia replied indifferently.

"But..." Chu Tianqiu retracted his gaze and said to Qi Xia, "Do you know? Only the living will turn into powder, while those who died before the tenth day will rot in the air."

Qi Xia frowned, feeling that this sentence was a bit weird.

"So the living will be annihilated?" Qi Xia asked.

"It's not the "living" who will be annihilated." Chu Tianqiu shook his head, "It's the "participants" who will be annihilated."
